About Richard

My story begins in a small town in Maine.

Growing up half black in one of the whitest states sometimes wasn’t easy. I craved diversity. I found it on the big screen. Through film, I was able to explore other places and meet other types of people. I spent a lot of my time at the cinema. I knew from a young age making films was what I wanted to do. Once I graduated from school, I moved to North Carolina where I was finally able to start my journey. I worked on a lot of independent project in front of the camera. It wasn’t until I moved to California that my passion for creating stories took hold. I enrolled in film school. I started writing, directing and producing my own short films.
